importing program code
I am new to Lyx and have no LaTeX experience. I am writing a sequence of Python tutorials in a book document. I tried switching from default book to AMS book because it supports numbered exercises and examples, however in the AMS system, each exercise appears to generate a new section number. I do not want exercises to alter the section numbering. I would ideally like exercises to either be numbered sequentually throughout the whole tutorial, or probably better, start again from 1 in each chapter or maybe section. Something viewable easily in LyX would be good, though I am willing to handle my first ERT's. Help appreciated. Thanks, Andy Harrington

Thanks Paul, That works perfectly, and I could make a LyX environment to eliminate the ERT. As it turned out, I just used the itemize environment for this particular application, but your example showed me how to directly translate my tab indented outline into LyX with a simple Ruby script.

Re: timestamp of lyx files not updated in windows xp
It appears that I am having the same issue, but I hadn't noticed before. It seems that the 'date modified' updates sometimes, but not every time that I make changes. It also appears that when I over-write an existing pdf, the date stays the same as the original as well. The 'accessed' dates are updated. Strange. I'm also using XP (Pro) and lyx 1.4.1. This could be a problem with back-ups. Cheers, John On 6/18/06, Paul A.

Here's an example: Whole program Initialize Open input file for read Open output file for write Copy loop Read input record Copy to output buffer Translate characters Write output record Finalize Close input file Close output file Print ending message How do I do that in LyX in such a way that I don't get too much space between lines, and it's obvious that this outline is a think in itself and not just part of the flow of the document?

It may look not very nice on screen, but it prints correctly and the corresponding pdf is perfect. If you choose to use png, then the output (from Word) looses quality. Regards, Paul

LyX 1.4.1 backport for Debian/sarge avaible on backports.org
Hi, Pelles LyX 1.4.1 package entered Debian/testing (aka etch) a few days ago and no grave bugs have been reported so far. To complete the package set Daniel Baumann uploaded a backport of the 1.4.1-1 packages to www.backports.org for me. Dvipost entered Debian/unstable today and a backport can follow when it enters Debian/testing.
